The question is often asked in re-
publican papers What has the coun-
try gained by the political change
in I884?" What has the country
gained sure enough? Let US not1
some of the benefits: The people
have gained enough public land to
make four states the size Of Arkan-
sas, all of which had been squan-
dered In railroad grants by the repub-
lican party and none Of which would
have ever been recovered except
for the political change in 1884. The
public have gained enough in the
more honest and efficient collection
of the public revenues, and prudent
public expenditures, to be able to
pay $2l ,000,0 900 year more IN pen
sions than the republican party ever
paid, and then pay $l09,000,000 a
year OF the public debt as against
$65, 100000 a year under republi.
can government. The people have
gained 100000 by sitting down
on five year subsidy of 100000 to
the Pacific monopoists and taught
that crowd of monopolists that the
government was bigger thing than
their corporation. The people have
gained by the extension of the star
route mail service by sixteen thous-
and miles, and yet its annual cost to
the people is 100000 less than II
was when the administration began
The people have gained by having
the mail service self sustaining, as
1t will be before the close OF 1888
whereas before the political change
of 1884 the service failed To pay ex
penses by nearly $ll, 100000. Il
these gains were all they would
amply pay the people for having
made the political change in 1884
Another gain is In the radiance Of
the corrupt navy ring, and the as
surance that we will have pretty
respectable navy before the end Of
one four years term.

THE prohlbltionists we're not en-
tirely successful in the Tennessee
election, bnt they made showing
OF which they need not be ashamed.
The result Of the fights made for
prohibitory amendments in Michi-
gan, Texas and Tennessee during
the past year show that prohibition
sentiment Is steadily gaining
strength. Considering that they
are already in possession of Name,
Iowa, Georgia and Kansas. with a
good fighting chance In Michigan
and Pennsylvania, the prohibition
lists are likely TO make a most de-
termined fight In the next cam
palgn.

RECENTLY Governor Foraker, of
Ohio, published in an eastern maya.
zine lengthy article in which he
gave what he termed reasons why
the republican party should be re-
turned to power. Mr.. Foraker's pa.
per was quite ably written and he
handled many questions with con-
siderable vigor. In his handling of
the southern question, pensions and
civil service reform he piled on alb
surd and unmerited praise of the re-
publican party and so utterly failed
to give the democratic party credit
for any good act it has done in these
directions, that the article lost much
of its weight In striking contrast
to the Foraker screed is the able,
manly and dignified article publish
ed later from the pen OF John G.
Carlisle, of Kentucky. Mr.. Car
Isle defends the democratic party
and praises the good work done by
the present administration. Mr..
Carlisle closes his mastery article
with this tribute TO democracy:
1T is the democratic policy Of low
taxation, economy in the admins.

the reserved rights OF the states and

What is LIES Greatest Boon?

What is LIES Greatest Boon?
Ask any one the above question,
and the answer will be made instant
~, "Life's creates boon is the enjoy
ment of good health" No one feels
more keenly the absence of this
heavenly boon than the weak and
delicate woman, and no one more
keenly than she will appreciate the
blessings fgood health, or more ca
gerly seek for the remedies which
will restore her wasted strength to
the full perfection which health
alone can give. To all such we ear
nestly appeal to read the following
testimony of a well known lady resi-
dent in Hopkinsville, KY:

BARRETT's CLEVER ELE-
PLANTS.
Amazing Displays of TnteIii-
gence.
Two Efephantrne Pngilists


Two Eiephantlne Pugilists.
One Of the striking attractions Of
s. III. Barrett's New United Monster
Shows, which will exhibit here, on
Friday, Oct. 81, is the intelligence
displayed by the herd OF trained ell
ephants. They appear in intricate
military drills, perform musical acts,
whirI in may waltzes, form tower
ing pyramids and do numerous other
amazing feats. This perfection has
only been attained after years of
hard, unrcmitting work on the part
of the trainer, Prof George Thomp-
son, most humane and capable
gentleman. The two leading ele
phantine stars are "Blsmark" and
Juno" a male and a female, res
pectivelv, of the Asiatic species.
They display almost human intelli-
gence in their part of the perform
ances. The jolly trick clown ele-
plants, doc" and ben Butler"
share the stellar honors with their
big companions, "Bismark" and"Ju-
no." Doc and "Ben" are preco
cious pair. Their antics surpass in
humor any of the cuisines" of their
human compeers. They wind up
their laugbable act with genuine
four-round boxing bout, In accord
ance with the rules promulgated by
the famous Marquis of Queensberry.
A referee, seconds, time keeper. bot
tie holders, and other realistic &C
cessories, are introduced. A glove
is attached to tue trunk OF each ami
NAL, and at the call of "timc" they
smash away at each other, to the in
finite delight of the spectators. A
real knock -out contest invariably
takes place unless the police forbid
"slugging." In that deplorable
event the four legged pugilists spar
for scientific points" only. The
admirers of the manly art hereabouts
have rich treat in store.
